Crimson Shroud

SCORE: 70

Crimson Shroud may be the most interesting
role playing game released all year long. It is on the Nintendo 3DS, and
is a download only title. That means you can not walk into a store and
purchase it. An Internet connection and router are needed to download
directly to your hand held. Companies can save a lot of money, and that
is passed on to you the consumer.

Crimson Shroud is old school role playing. That means we roll dice in
certain situations. How the roll goes will impact what happens in the
game in many situations. Like whether we fight or sneak past the enemy.
Each room presents its very own challenges. We may surprise enemies, or
get ambushed.

Crimson Shroud provides players with a ton of information when they
enter a room. There will be hints and clues as to where enemies may be,
and which direction is safer. Ultimately it is up to the player to
explore every section to unearth all of the secrets in this hand held
video game.

The coolest thing about Crimson Shroud is how it starts out talking
about gifts from God. There are those who do not believe in God, and
instead they commune with spirits. It was just wonderful to see God in a
role playing game instead of all that goddess stuff in so many other
RPG's.

Crimson Shroud is told through flashbacks. Like an onion, we realize
there are multiple layers to Crimson Shroud. The choose your own
adventure kind of game play to the areas works better in execution than
it sounds written down. Melding objects together to create more powerful
ones helps with the replay value.

The characters in Crimson Shroud are represented in the form of figures
on stands. When they lose all their health they fall backwards. There is
a female character dressed provocatively. Expect some ugly monsters,
blood, and violence. The violence is played out in the traditional
turned based role playing game style.

The music in Crimson Shroud is fantastic. Crimson Shroud is also shorter
than most role playing games. It is also a lot cheaper too. Rooms will
have to be replayed multiple problems to try and find the right
combination. Crimson Shroud is not for everyone, but hardcore D&D fans
will definitely take an interest.
